Subject: Big 80s hair?
Just wondering if anyone will 'fess up to actually having "BIG hair" back in the 80s. Was it really the cool hairstyle to have? Did people actually go through entire cans of Aquanet hairspray in a matter of days? I was talking to my aunt who admitted that she used to have high poofed out bangs (she refused to show a picture) and said that in the late 80s EVERY one had hair like that. I really don't remember so I thought this would be the place to ask>

Hi! I have to admit that I had big hair back in those days, too! For me, it was all about hairspray and teasing! I ended up really damaging my hair,and eventually cut most of it off. I'm STILL trying to grow it back! -Paige

> Julie The bigger, stiffer, higher your hair stuck up and out the better. Aquanet sales have to have suffered after that trend. To get the sides to stick out, you used the blow dryer and sprayed the hair spray while the dryer blew it out. Kinda scary that people walked around like that!!! Brandy

I know a chick who still wears her hair like that. She looks so rediculous but I can't tell her cuz I know it will hurt her feelings. It looks like a helmet from the front although I've never seen one that tall.

I should scan all the pictures of my eighties big hair. I could have a website devoted to just that. In 1987 I got awarded "The Big Hair Award" because despite performing an entire show in the pouring rain during my high school majorette days, my hair stayed big and hard.
